View 1 RepliesMany processes enter in disk sleep mode and stops (Hang) and return to work after 10 to 20 seconds.
In System Monitor i get "Disk Sleep" like this:
My PC specifications:
Ram: 4GB
Hard Disk: 1024GB
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2
Display: ATI HD 4670
Motherbord: Gigabyte
System: openSUSE 11.2 x86_64
The problem still exists after system update and i try run other distributions like kubuntu and i don't get this error. I also change Hard Disk but the problem is still ongoing.
Is it possible to let a Linux PC put itself into sleep mode at 1 am, and wake up, by itself at 6 am?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have to questions: I am new with Linux and using ubuntu on my laptop computer. when i reopen my leptops cover after i closed it, meaning - putting computer to sleep, every thing is working, but the screen is black and nothing is seen. No matter what i tried to do, i cant make it to "wake up".
Using the computers battery, with no electric supply, the battery time is only half of what i get when using windows. i tried using less lumination but it didnt seem to help.
In interactive mode (in Octave, gnuplot, R, etc.) I occasionally press Control + z by mistake. This pauses the program and kicks me back to the terminal.Is it possible to re-enter the original interactive mode (with all the stored variables)?
To reproduce:
~> octave
octave:1> a = [1:10];
octave:2> ^Z
[code].....
How can I recover my session with the variable a defined?
Linux downloaded new updates and worked perfectly. Next time I started mint, just before the login screen appears display says No Signal and goes in sleep mode. I think that mint downloaded somekind of display driver update wich is not compatible with my driver card. I can't see desktop, I just hear the login sound and that's all. What should I do? I'm new with linux.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 10.10 on an IBM ThinkPad t43. I have a 9 volt battery that I use only occasionally. Usually I use the AC connection and when I'm finished working I leave the laptop in "sleep" mode. (Not always, but often.) When using the AC is it okay to leave the battery in the computer or is it better to remove it? Some swear it shortens the battery's life to leave it installed when not in use. Others swear--with equal fervor--that the newer ion batteries know when they are fully charged and don't have to be removed. Which is true? It's inconvenient to keep taking the battery in and out, but if it's necessary to prolong it's life I guess it's worth it. Some clarity good because, as I said, you can find equally impassioned arguments for both sides of this issue.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI broke sudo when I wrongly edited a file in /etc/sudoers.d in vi(did not use visudo :-().I read that I could fix the same by rebooting into the 'Recovery Mode' by selecting the same from the grub menu.
However I'd earlier disabled the showing of the grub menu by editing /etc/default/grub. As a result I can't seem to go into recovery mode to fix my broken sudo.
I followed instructions to enter single user mode by adding single at the end of kernel line but after that it doesn't ask for root password but brings up the sh# prompt. Isn't that supposed to be insecure? I understand for this the grub password can be applied but even after adding "single" it should ask for root password..or it should not..??

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince installing 10.04 yesterday my laptop will not wake correctly from sleep mode. Opening the lid wakes the machine up but the graphics are all wrong. Loads of tightly packed horizontal lines. Turning the machine off and restarting makes all ok. It's only on wake up does the problem happen. The laptop is an Acer 1652,with an ATI Mobile Radeon X300 graphics card. Intel Pentium M.

I keep hitting it accidentally and I don't even use a swap, so Ubuntu just stalls with a black screen.
I'm on the computer for 15 min, and then it randomly goes into a sleep mode, and I can't recover it (system lights are on, monitor on, mouse/keyboard fine). I've replaced pulseaudio with alsa, and whenever I go into the screensavers tab to disable sleep mode, the computer does its thing and randomly goes to sleep. This is REALLY frustrating because I leave the computer on for downloads, but when I come to check on them the computer has gone to sleep, and I et corrupted files on my HDD. How to disable sleep from terminal?

View 1 Replies View RelatedInstalled openSUSE into my Thinkpad T410 and noticed that when I closed the laptop lid, the moon icon does not light up.
Reopening the lid and will see a screensaver password screen immediately.
Does this means that the laptop does not have Sleep (or is it called hibernate) mode enable? How can I enable it?
This also happens with Debian that this laptop is dual booted with.
My screen has started going into sleep mode if the computer is idle for around ten minutes - sometimes longer, no discernable pattern. The setting is of course set to 'never' in System / Preferences / Power Management

Two issues:
1. start Firefox, but it goes into sleep mode. no matter reboot machine, etc.
2. after entered a static IP address in network manager, fedora hanged in boot process, halted in "send email" which is one of many processes at boot up.
Used DHCP, can ping to other PC in LAN, but can't go internet.
Succeeded in connecting to internet using my wll phone. I can now connect using 'wvdial' command in root terminal. But I want to connect through terminal. I tried 'sudo wvdial' command. Then I am asked for my password. But I cannot type my password there. When I type, nothing appears on the terminal window. Ofcourse there's no problem with my keyboard.
